Post Office and American Express Company

This picture was taken on Hammond Street, includes the American Express Company and the Post Office.

Note - Regarding the building on the right side of the picture ...(from the publication titled "Historical Industrial and Social Record of Peerless Union City Michigan" edited, compiled, and published by Tom F. Robinson in March 1903) identifies this building as the "Tower-McCausey Block".

Comment - Bob Warner sent me an email and noted that his dad's pool hall was located in the building with the American Express Office sign.  He also noted that the Nichels Opera Hall was torn down about 1950.

Comment - In 1945 the store to the left was the Baylis Jewelry Store; the store in the center was Maude Lake's Hat Shop and the store on the right was the Union  City Locker Co. purchased from the Coldwater Meat Locker in 1945 by Carl and  Elma Ratzow and Ed and Wilma Zarmstorf. submitted by Elma Carpenter
